        In this episode, our guest Jun Seo, Co-Founder of Celeri and Dom discuss:

        • S1 E06: Vero

          In this episode, our guest Lou Baugier, Co-Founder and CEO, Vero and Dom discuss:

          • The application process as enabling prospects to "tell their financial story." 

          • Why that is challenging in an environment where the combination of unaffordable housing and scarily high consumer credit, and how those factors push some applicants down the path of "unsavory" practices.

          • The insecurity and inefficiency of existing processes.

          • The number of point solutions involved in today’s screening process, and the opportunity to bring multiple checks into a single process.

          • How regulation will affect AI adoption, the importance of transparency, and why AI makes that more challenging, not less.

          • S1 E05: PayScore

            In this episode, our guest Mark Fiebig, Founder and CEO, Payscore and Dom discuss:

            • Mark’s experience as a "recovering property manager," and the unique perspective it has given him on fraud and income stability.

            • Why AI will eventually be able to evade even the most sophisticated AI-based document checks, and why that means bank-lining is a better way of assessing income stability.

            • The opportunity for more sophisticated income analytics to displace credit scores as the primary underwriting tool.

            • Why Plaid integration is not enough, and why a broad set of relationships and integrations is the core competency in income verification.

            • The opportunity for an income-based score to displace credit scores as the primary mode of resident underwriting decisions

            • S1 E04: Findigs

              • The importance of an easy application process as the end goal of the screening process and the features of that process.

              • The potential upside of behavioral analytics as a way to identify fraud.

              • The importance of analyzing delinquencies early to evaluate screening criteria.

              • The need for extensive relationships and integrations with multiple companies (not just Plaid) for income verification.

              • The opportunity for credit screening to be better at predicting rent payment likelihood, rather than debt repayment (which is the focus of current screening approaches).
